Lashari
Baloch tribe
The Lashari (Balochi: لاشاری) is a Baloch tribe. According to Baloch folklore the tribe was founded by Lashar Khan, one of Mir Jalal Khan's four sons.[1] Lasharis led by Mir Gwahram Khan Lashari, are believed to have engaged in a 30-year war against the Rind, in which both tribes suffered greatly. These events are the subject of many Baloch heroic ballads.
Lashari is a major-caste of the Baloch community living in Sindh and Balochistan. The famous Sindhi performer Samad Lashari also belongs to the tribe.[2]
